The Government of Catalonia (Generalitat de Catalunya) has awarded a contract valued at over 45 million euros to a Temporary Joint Venture (UTE) composed of Acisa, Elecnor Sistemas, and Romero Polo. The goal is to ensure comprehensive maintenance of the Road Control Center of Catalonia (CCVC), as well as the tunnels and their access roads. This contract highlights the administration’s firm commitment to strengthening the safety and efficiency of Catalonia’s road network through a sustained focus on maintaining and progressively improving these critical infrastructures.

The contract encompasses comprehensive maintenance of the infrastructures, covering both preventive and corrective maintenance of the software and hardware linked to the CCVC and the more than 80 km of tunnels it manages, including notable ones like the Bracons, Parpers, and Oliana tunnels. This effort ensures continuity, proper conservation, and constant improvement of these assets, which are essential elements to uphold the service and safety standards required.

Throughout the duration of the contract, significant updates will be made to the tunnel control system (SCADA), facilitating a more efficient, safe, and coordinated management through an open-design multi-tunnel control system. This modernization will result in a notable optimization in traffic handling and an increase in road safety. Additionally, specific interventions will be carried out at the CCVC to ensure its optimal operability, ranging from maintenance of systems and hardware, continuous technical support 24/7, database and computer systems management, to the updating and administration of equipment and data. These measures are essential to enhance the capacity and safety in the management of Catalonia’s roadways, thereby promoting a more secure and effective infrastructure for all its users.
